This noble manor was built in 1776 in what was then the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth.
Historical records and the coat of arms on the building link it to the Bronsart von Schellendorf family, a Prussian noble lineage.
The manor survived wars, changing borders, and empires, but today it is slowly deteriorating due to water damage and decades of neglect.
I am documenting its history and beginning stabilization work to preserve what remains of this heritage site.

This manor belonged to Polish and German noble families and later to a knight of the Order of St. John (Knights Hospitaller).The estate once included a palace and large lands, but most of it disappeared over time. This building is one of the last surviving structures from that noble estate.

I published full documentation with photos of the manor and completed ownership verification here, in case anyone is curious:
One interesting detail: the manor’s coat of arms on the facade helped identify the former owners, a Prussian noble family Bronsart von Schellendorf. It’s rare that such heraldic clues survive on rural buildings.
